Then, technology is developed so that the bar is tended automatically and without need of a human; maintenance is $15 an hour.What do minimum wage advocates do? Say evil capitalists are taking jobs away from people and advocate for the technology's prohibition. Vicious cycle.Edit: Of course this is a dramatically exaggerated case in favor of free association and enterprise. Don't take it literally, my point is that minimum wage is morally abhorrent and economically stupid; machines are productive and running a business how the owner sees fit is their right. (19)

Remember:- $15 was demanded as they shouted that's the living wage.- $15 many places implemented that rate. To no one's surprise except those shouting for $15, jobs got cut and those that remained had to pick up the slack.- Along with job layoffs, businesses began to being in autonomous machines to take orders or check people out.- $20 was then demanded as the correct living wage. California implemented this and to no one's surprise except those making demands, literal business were closed entirely losing thousands of jobs (in Cali and elsewhere).- The use of machines to do check outs, orders, and now delivery's has picked up up at an alarming rate costing even more jobs as business now realize that it's easier and cheaper to maintain a computer than meet the ever growing demands of employees.- Now some are starting to scream for $30 an hour not learning from the past mistakes.If you force businesses to raise pay they will find ways to save money. That means job cuts and replacement... (185)

Land? Oil? Forests? Water? Iron? Copper? The vast majority of the "wealth" held by the public at large is the property their house sits on. Land that was once obtainable for free just by being willing to work it is now beyond obtaining with a lifetime of work. The majority of "wealth" predates any work. Nobody created any natural resource. Why do some get to claim that as their private exclusive "capital" and others are subject to them in order to survive?You need to read up on the Lockean theory of ownership and Georgism. Your argument is that used to defend Monarchy that owns all natural resources and everyone else must mutually agree with the Monarch to get something back for working and using what belongs to him. It is anti-liberty. (-2)

I dont mean if you and me can define need. Im saying a large centrally-planned economy cannot define need. Isnt that one of Ludwig Von Mises main contribution to austrian economics?And for the rest I totally agree with you, minimum wage decimated the low-skill labor market. But i condemn it because some people actually have low skill. Those jobs are needed to get them on the market. Theres a big difference between 0$ and 1$. You can get something going from 1$, at 0 you're stuck. And I think its honestly classist and elitist to call those people because slaves because they dont make a lot of money. The point of the meme is to underline the fact that the exchange is consensual, these people are agreeing to the terms and can leave whenever they want, whether moralizing elites like it or not. (1)

Business owner here! If I want some minute task down for me that I'm only willing to pay a wage for what is deemed to be unsustainable to live, am I not essentially soliciting a slave? Alternatively, is the task possibly zero-value added since the return value is less than a living wage, and therefore unnecessary for the health of my business? (3)

Stupid r-slurs. If that dude was making $9 in the 80s that was more than double (almost triple) minimum wage. My first W2 job in the 90s paid $4.25.

God darn I remember making $4.25 for a bit too. It really didn't add up to much. People who think you should be able to make a real living off minimum wage might need some perspective lol, there was no one paying rent on $4.25 in the 90s, we were high school kids and we had no bills to pay except filling up the gas tank or whatever.

The issue here is that there is a bunch of financial aid programs with work requirements that effectively makes non-liveable minimum wage something you actually can live off of, barely.
In effect these are huge subsidies to corporations to solve their issues by throwing r-slurred amounts of cheap labour at it and for poors to both feel like productive members of society whilst being huge drains on it.
Expensive labor is good, because automation is good. But corpos will never invest the necessary capital for it when they can get away with not doping it and just throwing more cheap labour at it.
